![]() Rocko's Modern Life, Camp Lazlo, Brandy and Mr. Man, was I oh-so wrong! I had never been disgusted by a cartoon's brand of humor since I don't know when. A cartoon about a normal human boy who goes to the same school with a group of anthropomorphic animals? Sounds like it could be a fun show." But when I watched the first couple episodes, I was wrong. Similar to my experience with the Disney cartoon American Dragon: Jake Long, when I first heard about My Gym Partner's a Monkey, I thought to myself: "Huh. ![]() That theme song is going to haunt me, until the day I die. I have to give the my Gym Partner's a Monkey 8/10. Looking back at my youth, there is one place that could come close to a zoo, and that is high school, as the kids are out of control, and all the students are tearing each other to bits. Nevertheless, my Gym Partner's a Monkey, could be a metaphor for school. It is a cartoon, Jake Spider-Monkey and Adam Lion can do anything they want, ranging from a talking Spider-Monkey, to being transferred to an animal school. If you want realism, well go and watch Nat Geo, or Discovery. For a cartoon that has been produced on the cheap, I like it, because it is funny. One of my favorite episodes is, when the animals from Charles Darwin School, stayed at Adam's house for the night. Jake Spider-Monkey and Adam Lion are best friends, and they get up to all sorts of stuff. Again, this scenario could be possible in a cartoon universe. Basically Charles Darwin School is used to educate young animals. As Jake's last name is Lion subsequently he is shifted from a human school to an animal school. my jaw dropping to the ground, and my tongue dragging on the floor. I suspect if I were living in some bizzaro cartoon universe, anything is possible i.e. There are two things that go through my mind when I watch My Gym Partner's a Monkey: 1) It is a cartoon 2) Comedy. Whether it's trying to fit in at the school dance, learning why it might not be okay to bring a hamburger for lunch, or competing against a dolphin in the school science fair, it will never be a dull day at Charles Darwin Middle School.- Fart Jokes rule. ![]() Sure there are a lot of easy gags like fart or butt jokes, but I think I'm mature enough to admit that they're still funny.and always will be. Instead of having to just adjust to the rigors of middle school, poor Adam Lyon needs to adjust to an innumerable amount of different species that all have their own ins and outs that make day to day differences hilarious. ![]() (The deep, smart kid, the superficial popular crowd, the school bully, even the optimistically depressed guidance counselor). There is a plethora of wonderful character voices as well as those that recollect the usual suspects from school. The voice acting is great and pays wonderful attention to the mannerisms of the animals. Throw in crazy animal antics and you've got a winning formula. I actually love this show! It has a great premise and some creative re-imaginings of many tales from all our school days and even some new ones. ![]()
